directly (as opposed to servicing them through distributors), BD had to decentralise stock
holding from the Belgium-located multimarket distribution warehouse to South Africa. BD
South Africa has since partnered with a third party logistics service provider, UTi Pharma in
this regard. UTi Pharma provides BD South Africa with warehousing and direct distribution
services to any customer address in South Africa.
Challenges
The decentralisation of stock to South Africa was met with many challenges. These challenges
included among other things, a surge in decentralised inventory levels, a drop in availability
levels; a lack of collaboration within the supply chain stakeholders (supply and demand
planners, business managers, customer services and UTi Pharma National Inventory Control)
and poor visibility of decentralised stock levels (both in transit stock and stock on hand).
The excessive inventory levels led to stock obsolescence and expiry which in turn resulted in
the cost of write-offs and in instances the cost of shipping stock back to Temse. Out of stocks
led to poor availability levels which resulted in lost sales and eroded customer satisfaction.
The complexity in the autonomy and silo modus operandi in which each commercial business
segment operated led to a lack of collaboration and consensus on forecast and inventory
management with the European based supply and demand teams.
Further, BD worldwide decided to move onto a new ERP platform; the new ERP platform
lacked a module that managed the planning and replenishment of stock decentralised from
the multimarket distribution warehouse. This limitation resulted in a lack of visibility of
decentralised stock and an inability to plan replenishment.
The gap in the new ERP system created an opportunity for BD South Africa to work with its
third party logistics partner to seek an alternative sustainable solution that would allow for the
optimisation of BD’s inventory replenishment into the UTi Pharma warehouse.

Figure 2: Data Process Flow
Weekly process flow - BD Demand Planners generated a forecast plan and sent the
report along with the in-transit file to UTi SDi. UTi SDi specialists used the forecast in
conjunction with the set policies in order to calculate a weekly Replenishment Planning
Report. The report was sent to UTi Pharma on a weekly basis before the agreed,
specified time.
Weekly Viewer - UTi SDi generated a weekly monitor report to view and measure
deviations on the Replenishment Planning Report. BD’s captured orders were
measured against the system recommended orders. The deviations were investigated
and communicated back to BD. Business intelligence (BI) tools were built into the
system to visually illustrate weekly performance.
Collaboration: Transformation of client’s data into useful information was used to
facilitate both upstream and downstream collaboration. Interactive dashboards were
provided to BD via the web in order to monitor the performance of inventory right
down to SKU level. The BI software was also used to produce monthly scorecards
depicting the inventory profile. Full visibility of BD’s KPI measurement was reported
via the reporting tool. Regular feedback and quarterly policy review meetings were
held to develop further initiatives to improve BD’s service levels.
Implementation
The diagram below illustrates the sequential processes followed by UTi SDi during the
implementation phase.

Figure 3: Implementation
Value Add / Results
The successful implementation of an inventory optimization solution for BD has led to efficient
procurement replenishment planning within BD’s supply chain. Since the implementation of
the Procurement Replenishment solution, the following results have been achieved by BD:
Inventory levels decreased by 25%
Excess stock dropped by 10%
Availability levels improved from 69.5% to 86.5%
YTD sales growth of 12% has been achieved
The following graphs effectively demonstrate how optimization tools have supported BD to
maximize the performance within their supply chain.
Depicted in figure 3 is the interplay between excess inventory and availability and in Figure 4 is a
depiction of interplay between safety stock, model stock, actual stock on hand and sales. Note
the gap between safety stock, model stock and actual inventory on hand between Jan 2011 and
July 2011, this gap signals excess stock concerns. Further, note how an attempt to reduce stock
levels resulted in a reduction in availability levels between July 2011 and November 2011.
With the introduction of SDi’s proposed solution, excess inventory levels increase in the short
term (April 2012 to July 2012). This was achieved by focusing on the forecast and inventory
parameters of stock that had out of stock issues first. This was done in order secure a
sustainable turnaround in the availability trend curve and to ensure a continued sales growth,
restore customer confidence and re-assure business’ buy-in for the proposed solution.
When the availability trend curve showed a consistently improving trend, the approach was
then to reduce excess inventories simultaneously as availability improved. Note the inventory
reduction between October 2012 and March 2013. The reduction in excess inventories was
attained by establishing first the lower limit and upper limit inventory parameters i.e. model
stock and safety stock. The lower and upper limits were defined as a function of inventory
variables such as lead-times, forecast, safety stock days etc. The stock is considered to be
optimised when it oscillates between the upper and lower limits. The optimised stock levels
were achieved while maintaining sales growth and with less noise and panic from business
managers and supply chain stakeholders.

Through the sales and operations planning process and collaboration, decisions between the
business and supply chain stakeholders were made to adjust forecast, write off stock, improve
marketing and sales efforts. This led to inventory levels being optimised to expectations.
Figure 4: Availability and Excess Inventory
Figure 5: Inventory Statistics
Conclusion
As supply chains expand, complexity continues to increase; this can have a significant impact
on inventory management and procurement planning. Companies therefore need to continue
rationalizing inventory control, where the use of effective procurement planning is utilized to
assure adequate inventory levels.
The benefits associated with implementing end to end finished goods inventory optimization
throughout BD`s Supply Chain infrastructure provided BD with an opportunity to manage
uncertainties in the market, minimize stock outs, free up working capital, stay within the
budget without compromising customer demand and ensure that the products reach the
market at the required time.
